The '''super wavedash''' (sometimes abbreviated as '''SWD''') is a frame-perfect physics exploit in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that can only be performed by {{SSBM|Samus}}. If the player performs it right, they will go a very far distance (about as long as {{SSBM|Final Destination}}), however, it is important to release the control stick after the player performs the move, otherwise their distance will not be as far. They can also "Bombhop" by pressing the direction they want to go right before the bomb explodes.

The '''super wavedash''' (sometimes abbreviated as '''SWD''') is a frame-perfect physics exploit in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' that can only be performed by [[Samus]]. If the player performs it right, they will go a very far distance (about as long as [[Final Destination (SSBM)|Final Destination]]), however, it is important to release the control stick after the player performs the move, otherwise their distance will not be as far. They can also "Bombhop" by pressing the direction they want to go right before the bomb explodes.  


==Execution==
==Execution==
The super wavedash is performed by dropping a bomb, and as Samus is hitting the ground, immediately pressing the opposite direction desired on the 41st [[frame]] (approximately when Samus lands after dropping the bomb), then pressing the direction desired on the 42nd frame. This will result in Samus sliding across the level, as if in a normal [[wavedash]], but she will go much farther.


It is possible, with better timing, to do a SWD falling from the air, however this method is more difficult as the player does not have the standard animation to judge the timing as they may fall though the air from different heights. It is also possible to cancel the SWD in order to avoid a [[self-destruct]]. Doing any move with the exception of jumping, [[sidestep]]ping, using the [[Charge Shot]] or [[smash attack]]s will stop the super wavedash.
The super wavedash is a very complicated maneuver and takes a lot of practice to pull off. In order to do this, drop a bomb, and as Samus is hitting the ground, immediately hit the opposite direction desired on the 41st [[frame]] (approximately when Samus lands after dropping the bomb), then hit the direction desired on the 42nd frame. This will result in Samus sliding across the level, as if in a normal [[wavedash]], but she will go much farther.


===Daughter dash===
It is possible, with better timing to do a SWD falling from the air, but a bit harder since the player does not have the ground to judge the timing as they may fall though the air from different heights. It is also possible to cancel the SWD in order to avoid a [[self-destruct]]. Doing any move with the exception of jumping, [[sidestep]]ping, using the [[Charge Shot]] or [[smash attack]]s will stop the super wave dash.
The super wavedash is actually a variation of the "daughter dash" mechanic, which occurs when the control stick is inputted left on one frame and right on the other, (or vice versa) while Samus's morph ball is making contact with the ground, or a platform. A super wavedash occurs when one performs a daughter dash on the last possible frame of the daughter dash window.


===Boost ball===
===Super Duper Wavedash===
Another variation of the daughter dash mechanic is the "boost ball," also known as "the Goomy Zoomy," named after the Colorado Samus player {{Sm|Goomy}}. The Boost Ball allows Samus to trick the game into maintaining the momentum of a super wavedash in the air from a platform. To perform a boost ball, Samus must drop through a platform's ledge, immediately perform a bomb to land back onto the platform, and then perform a daughter dash to shoot off of the platform.


===Super duper wavedash===
Another variant of the Super Wave Dash is the "Super Duper Wavedash." Execution is similar to that of the Super Wave Dash, however it requires very precise timing to the point that it is only practical in [[TAS]] runs. It is performed by doing the Super Wave Dash as normal, however on frame 46 the player must hold down, shield on frame 47, and then immediately grab on frame 48. This causes the player to slide a considerable distance further than the Super Wave Dash.

==Crouched bomb==
==Crouched bomb==
When crouching and laying a bomb, as opposed to laying a bomb without crouching, [[Samus]] will skip the first 2 frames in the bomb animation. This means when performing the SWD, the player will hit the opposite direction they want to go on the 39th frame, then hit the direction they want to go on the 40th frame.
